Martin Luther King Jr. ROLLS IN HIS GRAVE when Anchor-'People' announce Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's Confirmation

Because the first thing they always say about her is that she is 'the first black woman on the Supreme Court' (I know--'she "will be,"' as she's not 'in office' until the next term begins on October 3 (and it took 3-or-4 searches to get THAT date and not 'the date of the articles that announced his future-retirement)--but this'll be here for 'years to come'). Granted, this is probably attached to the fact that President Joe Biden's announcement that the next Supreme Court Justice would be "a black woman" (before we even knew for-sure WHICH black woman he was nominating). I guess their feeling (sorta) the way sports-followers felt back when they started letting Black men on the basketball-court. (Except they didn't have TV-coverage ... so 'the fact that basketball used to be an all-white sport' might not even be "a fact," but more "a rumor of history"---just like the "fact" that George Washington admitted to chopping down a cherry-tree.) Oh, they usually 'back-bite/balance-off' their racial-announcement with the news that "she is the first former defense-attorney to join the Supreme Court," and they probably also mention the TONS of qualifications she has; but every time I hear them tell us how important it is that she's a black woman, I hear MJK Jr. roaring from beyond the grave "... Judged Not by the Color of their Skin, but by the Content of their Character"
